They may not know that, unless they searched the scriptures, and their hearts. When war fever strikes, how many people actually do that? Historically, in most wars, none of the combatants are on G-d’s side, and therefore, he may not be taking sides.

In the Civil War, I think that is the case. Both sides were right about some things, and both sides were wrong about some things, morally, as well as Constitutionally speaking.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some liberal in New York City, or Washington, DC, who keeps starting these Civil War revisited threads, hoping to split the conservatives.

I did a search on confederate or Dixie in threat titles and it appears that just about every one of those was started by a reb, Stainlessbanner or Cowboyway for the most part. A search on 'Civil War' results in a lot of threads by Mainpatsfan, who may be a Yankee but seems to post threads out of a genuine interest in Civil War history. Only a search on 'Lincoln' results in a number of Unionist posters. So I'd say that your claim is completely wrong. At least the Yankee part. The liberal part is open to conjecture.

Sounds like in war, which side is right or wrong, is relative.
